Others that we've lost but no longer have pictures of are our wonderful Blossom, L'gacy Awesome
Blossom. Blossom died of Addison's Disease brought on by the tornado on Christmas Eve 2004.
Blossom fought it for months and ultimately, her body gave out. She died shortly after we got her to
the vets. Blossom was our house dog and we adored her and she will always be missed.

Itty Bitty, earned her name in the whelping box. She was a fighter from day one and ended up growing
to be normal sized but the name stuck. Itty Bitty died of kidney failure after the tornado. She too will
always be missed.

Tia was our old girl who was spayed and just our companion. We tried making her a house dog but it
wasn't to be; she wanted to be outside with the rest of the dogs. Tia died peacefully of old age on
August 22, 2005.

Silver was everything a foundation needed to be plus. She
was the dam of three champions and the grand dam of 10
champions and counting. She was our everything and we
lost her far too young due to a uterine infection. Silver
fought for 10 days but her body gave out in the end. I will
always miss her but it gives me comfort to know that
a piece of her will always be here through her kids,
grandkids and beyond. Thank you Silver for everything!

Dickens, out of my second litter and my first dog ever to
earn a point. Dickens was the sire of my first
champion, Ch. Cherann's A Penny Saved. Dickens truly
lived up to his name and was always into everything.
We lost Dickens on July 22, 2005 due to what the vet
felt was heart issues associated with the tornado that
destroyed our home that Dickens had survived.

Val I feel has been the best thing we ever bred. She had a
wonderful style to her that I'll look for in every litter.
She loved the show ring due to Laurie Jeff Greer's work
and dedication to her. Otherwise, it would have never
happened. We lost Val on October 9, 2005 due to kidney
failure which our vet feels was brought on by injuries
sustained in the tornado.
